The pressing challenges of our time mean that designers are facing new, less familiar areas of responsibility. They are required to negotiate their way through regulations, ecological commitment, building conventions and economic constraints. This Flanders Architectural Review N°16 shows how both designers and clients recurrently adopt a caring attitude when engaging with these challenges. This responsibility manifests itself in careful approaches to the renovation of existing structures, ecological innovations that go beyond the norm, participatory processes for collective housing, and the recognition of diversity in both society and the field of architecture. Twenty-one projects, eleven essays and six photographers not only shed light on the human, financial, material and ecological aspects of the built environment, but also explore the degree to which the decisionmaking processes are democratic.
